M30 × 3.5 Thread Dimensions

M30 x 3.5 is a coarse pitch METRIC thread. Pitch is 3.5 mm, equivalent to 7.26 threads per inch. The recommended tap drill leaves roughly 75% thread engagement.

How these values are derived

Basic ISO thread geometry uses the fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P. External minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P, internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P. Tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates a 75% thread engagement — adjust for tough materials or deep holes.
